Weight inside/outside of a circle

There's a piece of skating-speak which I don't understand. Would someone enlighten me?

I've heard people mention having their weight inside or outside of the circle, when on an edge. If I'm on any edge, I'm leaning into the circle, so how can my weight possibly be *outside* of it?

Thanks,
minty

On an inside edge, your body should lean somewhat outside the circle and on an outside edge to the inside of the circle. It's an old patch thing
